Saturday 25th June:
The RMT industrial dispute had associated strike action on 21st, 23rd and 25th. On these days, a limited service was provided in 12 hour windows from the signalling centres. This provided for a skeleton passenger service serving the SWR main line as far as Southampton, and freight services serving mainly intermodal traffic. GBRf appeared to be using Hinksey as a staging location in their intermodal operations on these days. The Mountfield gypsum working ran with 69001 on 23rd and 25th, from and to Tonbridge.
